Likes:Panda loves the beach, kisses, hugs, and snuggles. She likes bed time, and get up time and any time in between. She loves to chase stuff and to heard things out of people's pool, especially when no one knows she's going to do so.Pet-Peeves:She pretty much hates anything on wheels, and she's very displeased with children in general. She's terribly shy around other people and doesn't like it when they try to touch her before she's ready.Favorite Toy:Given her druthers, it'd be the neighbor's cat, but she'll pretty much take anything air born and squishy and squeaky. She's definitely a big fan of toys.Favorite Food:She eats Wellness Fish and Sweet Potato, but enjoys all her treats, especially peanut butter or, when she's really lucky, little bits of fillet mignon.Favorite Walk:The beach is the best, and almost all her fears are ignored when she's there, but she also likes the woods and the snow and playing with her friends at their house.Best Tricks:Beg up, stand on her hind legs, run in circles, give the paw you request, speak, "bang" from stand, sit, beg up or stand all the way up, roll over, and commando crawlArrival Story:When my boyfriend and I moved to LA from Boston, he told me the one thing he wanted was a dog. I'd never had a dog and didn't think I wanted one. My friend, who is an animal trainer, had been keeping this is mind as she awaited my arrival in LA. It turned out that there was a puppy at her company's ranch that needed adopting which she felt would be perfect for me. She said there was a little border collie named Houston who had survived an outbreak of Parvo that nearly killed the whole litter. She said that Houston was very shy but as sweet as anything.
Leo and I met Houston and something clicked. We brought her home the next day and renamed her Panda. She's been our sunshine and joy ever since.Bio:I truly wish that everyone's first dog could be as wonderful as Panda is. She is insanly smart, as many border collies are, but she doesn't have that trouble making tendancy that so many smart pups have. We can leave a steak on the coffee table, unattended while we're out shopping and come home, and it will be untouched. She knows the difference between her stuffed animals and mine. The only thing she's ever selfish about is kisses which she feels are her own property at all times. She's a great little girl and I'm proud that she's mine.I've Been On Dogster Since:
